Day fourteen.

We are officially starting our second chance.
We are taking it pretty seriously.

One of the things we are doing is working out a lot and eating really healthy.
Or trying to anyway...
I wish I didn't like love chocolate so much.

Day Thirteen.

  Day of Diagnosis.
I made this inspiration board with Ben while I tried to explain to my 4 year old what Cancer meant and how our lives were going to change. It was the most impossible thing I have ever done.

One Year Later.
Cancer Free.

Day Twelve.

I wouldn't say she is crawling exactly...it is more of a rock/lunge/roll...but she is close. We have a shag rug in the living room though that she can army crawl on by grabbing onto the carpet. We are going to be in trouble when she really takes off. This is one active girl.

Day Ten.

This boy is going to be 3 next week! I cannot believe it!

Day Nine.

The eye Doctor told Ben that he needed to wear his glasses while he is reading. The very literal boy puts them on every time he picks up a book and will not attempt to read anything if he is not wearing them. His careful way of selecting a book and gently putting on his glasses just like the Optometrist demonstrated is so sweet. I wonder how long it will take before Jacob breaks them? Fortunately we bought the "little brother protection plan" warranty.

Day Eight.

Jacob is so sweet and gentle to babies. He has always has a very nurturing and gentle side for babies. He has only recently stopped the endearing habit of carrying his baby doll everywhere he goes. Ella has not lost her novelty in the least. As she becomes more and more of his adoring fan he just loves her more. If Ella needs ANYTHING he drops everything to get it. Jacob was thrilled on this particular occasion when I asked if he could feed her lunch. He took his job very seriously. Eating, in Jacob's world...is serious business. An event that happens about 17 times a day to fill his hollow legs. He was happy to include his sister in his favorite activity.
